Aapisowaahs

deity · United States · North America

Aapisowaahs (Apisowaahs, Iipisowaahs) is the Morning Star of Blackfoot tradition, not a Crow figure as the entry claims. He is the son of Nato'si (Sun) and Ko'komiki'somm (Moon); his story, connected to Poia/Star Boy and the Star Bride, is central to Blackfoot star-lore and the Sun Dance. The Crow people have their own cosmology (Old Man Coyote, Akbaatatdia), distinct from this Blackfoot being.
